I picked this book up at a giant book sale knowing nothing more about it than what the back cover told me. Heck, for a buck, there was no great consequence if it sucked.

Well, it was the polar opposite! What an engaging, emotional, depressing yet uplifting read!!! I read it very quickly whilst recovering from a nasty flu bug. I couldn't put it down.

I won't go into details, other reviewers have done a far better job than I could. Suffice it to say that the book had me reflecting on what events, both good and traumatic, have shaped my life. Am I stuck? Do I need to do some "brain edits"? I love books that make me reflect like this. A good read AND a growing experience!!
